Unisaw 34-804 #2: 1963

Ok went and picked up another unisaw. Look at this junk it is not painted brown this is rust!Thought I’d show how bad they can get when left out in the weather. I was told this is only
about a year of buildup but I am skeptical. I’ll let you know how this works over the next few days.

I would be interested to know what the asking price was for a Unisaw that looks like it was used for a boat anchor??You are the only person that I know that sees it’s true value.Best of luck on this huge project.

The reason I was asking what they were asking for the saw when you bought it is that I am looking at a Rockwell Unisaw here in Pheonix. It is 220v. single phase 3 hp with a Balder moter replaced in 1995. Biesmyer fence, not the 52 inch, looks like about a 36 inch. Anyways they are asking $599 and I clean up the minor surface rust.You can see it on C/L Pheonix/tools. is this too good to be true??

Grumpymike I would say not so good to be true. My other unisaw is a 3ph 3hp machine that came with a Biesmeyer 7’ fence, a Biesemeyer overhead blade guard, and an out-feed table. for the same price. So good but not unbelievable well worth it. Be sure of the replacement motor because the base frame needs to be made for the unisaw normal motor brackets can have clearance issues when modified for the unisaw. They can work just do your due diligence. They all will have a little surface rust hear and there. My new one is an extreme exception.

RCT Thanks for the info, I will check the mounts carefully. WOW a 7’ fence ?? egads, I’d need to do an addition … I have a Rigid 2424 that i bought used and it is serving me well at this time, but the fence leaves a bit to be desired, and being a contractor style every time I need to set to 45 degree I have to move the outfeed table. Looking to upgrade on a budget.Thanks again for the info.
